Rob's Update: Pictures Galore
Week 49 of 2023
Greetings all
I'm going to post a number of pictures today of the store. Most of this week has been spent getting ready for the open house, so here's some of the cool things we got.
Let's start with the fun part! We have signs, and here's the picture of the front of our building plus all the Grand Opening details.

We Have SignsThe signs rock, but let's see what we have inside.
Here's what we've got in the entryway! Some swag (our cups came out so well), and some other cool stuff.
